Tutorials & Guides

This is not a simple install - you MUST be prepared to use the terminal! Follow this guide to the letter:

https://sourcedigit.com/16618-install-configure-sshguard-on-linux-ubuntu-systems/ - replace SSHGuard with ‘sshguard’ - no capitals in Ubuntu based applications - only Home folders! :wink:

After installing SSHGuard whilst still in terminal, enter:

sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent

:wink:
